Achievements: when India was declared a Polio-free Nation.

The most prestigious achievement for India have been its victory over polio as it completed three years without any case of the debilitating infection, which made it entitled to polio-free certification by the World Health Organisation in March.
In the month of March, the World Health Organisation (WHO) South-East Asia Region, home to a quarter of the world’s population, was certified polio-free by an independent commission under the WHO certification process. With this step, 80 per cent of the world’s population now lives in certified polio-free regions.
